UPDATE: Police seize more than a hundred plants in Fianna Hills neighborhood

Police seized more than 100 plants for a home in the Fianna Hills neighborhood of Fort Smith, according to Captain Jamie Hammond of the Fort Smith Police Narcotics Division. The plants and drugs were worth more than half a million dollars.

The homeowner had been growing marijuana for nearly a year, and bypassed his electric meter to hide the high-cost operation, according to Capt. Hammond.

"It's the safety of it, as you can see this is a residential neighborhood, this place could easily catch on fire, blow up, who's to say what could happen here," said Hammond.

Neighbors told 40/29 News the windows of the home were covered with sheet rock.

"The people basically just stay to themselves, I've seen the same three or four cars come and visit, which I thought was family. They keep their house closed up," said Wadina Cope, who lives nearby.

"This is a typical neighborhood that you'll see anywhere that you would want to live. It's a quiet residential cul-de-sac street and this guy is in here growing marijuana and profiting off of it and putting everybody at danger doing so," said Hammond.

"Very shocked, very surprised it's a quiet neighborhood, that's the reason I decided to build here," said Bobby Altes, who is building a new home in the Fianna Hills neighborhood.

More arrests are possible in the case, according to Hammond.
